Dangerous Desires Novel

Luke.

My father was weak and unbelievable. Allowing his Luna to destroy two lives to please her was sick, weak and despicable. Where does Stacy’s cruelty stop? It is bad enough that she turned my father against me to become alpha. Did she have to tie Tia and me into a loveless marriage to get Tia out of the way? I followed my father to Tia’s home and said a lot of nonsense there to understand what was going on because Stacy had told me the Lockwoods asked for a union with our family because their daughter was the strongest female of her generation. She claimed they wanted her to be Luna as her right. Since she and my father did not want their daughter with Caleb, they settled for me. Stacy was full of shit.

Tia had a crush on Caleb, and everyone knew. It wasn’t a hidden thing; even Caleb knew and ignored it. It was a harmless crush. The girl showed how determined she was when she quit her calling and signed up at the academy. She had surprised everyone and finished second. At first, we all thought that she made sure she finished second just so she would be the first to be considered as Caleb’s Luna, but after talking to her, however harsh or brief, the poor girl wasn’t thinking in that direction. I was hurt, and that was why I told the truth when we went back into the house. I was sick of my father’s lies. Instead of allowing him to continue spewing nonsense, the Lockwoods needed to know what had happened. I wanted to tell Tia that Caleb knew about it, but I believed I had said enough. That would have just broken her heart, and she was already broken. The girl was too young for this. Stacy was a complete bitch.

Caleb finally confronted his mother to call it off, but she had gone too far and wasn’t the type to eat her words. I still blamed my half brother for this shit. He knew the girl was head over heels for him. Instead of being honest with her, he deliberately kept her in the friends’ zone. He enjoyed seeing her struggle with her emotions. I had heard him tell his friends she made passes at him several times. After meeting Tia and having a brief and uncomfortable discussion with her, there was no way she made passes at him. The girl was too damn arrogant to admit her feelings. She would have been a great Luna. Since Stacy did not want her, she should have left well enough alone and allowed the girl to be in peace. Eventually, she would have gotten over it or met someone before she resumed her gamma position. How did they expect Tia to help Caleb run the pack as his Gamma while unhappy? How did they expect the best from her?

I did not know what to do. I did not want to touch Tia or claim her. It wasn’t because I hated her, but because I knew she did not want me, and I am not the type to take advantage of another person. I will not mate with Tia against her will. I wasn’t like Caleb. He had messed up countless wolves and gotten a few pregnant, and my father and his mother had cleaned up the mess quietly. I was looking back at everything. Caleb would be a terrible Alpha, but Stacy wanted her son there at all cost, and an accident after leaving the club, that had killed an innocent biker had granted her wish.

I tried to tell my father that I wasn’t drunk, that my break had failed, but he wouldn’t have it. Claiming I was a bad example, I stood there as Stacy escalated the matter. I knew the biker’s life was important, but what about mine? I would have died. Someone included silver in that accident for some strange reason, and I did not know-how. The biker would have survived if it were not for the silver. Instead of my father investigating what was happening, he wrote me off and placed Caleb above me. I waited for him to write Caleb off. After hearing about his escapades but my father didn’t.

Instead, he had said it wasn’t as bad as what I did. He keeps saying I took a life, but it wasn’t really my fault. He creates excuses for Caleb that he did not stand a chance against those girls. He kept saying everyone wanted to be Luna and wanted Moon money. Why didn’t I get involved with many girls when I was up for the Alpha position. I had only been with one girl all my life, Elisabeth Barnes and thanks to Stacy; I will have to let her go and break her heart in the process. Stacy ruined three lives or maybe four if Tia had someone for the sake of her son. I wasn’t mad at her. I was angry at the weak alpha who allowed his Luna to do whatever she wanted. I could not hate my mother for dying, but she should have held on to life to spare the country and pack Stacy’s cruelty.

I fixed up the bigger room for Tia and moved my things to the smaller room. I wanted her to be comfortable and cope with the situation. She was a victim in all this, not a gold digger or a slut, as I had implied to understand the situation better. The nineteen-year-old girl was a victim and nothing more, and neither were her parents to blame. They were powerless and rankless. They had no choice but to accept my father’s offer. Being cast out and becoming a rogue was worse than death. The pack mark fades, making them unable to hold their human form, and then they will roam like wild animals in the wild. It was a pity. There was no second chance for rogues in my world. Once the pack mark fades, that is it. A wolf could only belong to one pack in its lifetime. I believe the mark thing was a cruel precaution to enforce loyalty, and the Alpha family had the right to take it away.

Bartholomew, my butler, walked into my room while I got ready for my date with Elisabeth.

“Master Luke, the boutique is here to deliver your bride’s clothes,” he said. I stood up from where I was sitting on the chair and walked into the Master’s room that I had fixed up for Tia. I looked around. I had never slept in it; I had always slept in the smaller room. I realised that someone would be finally using it.
